Description
In Wails v2.9.3, -buildvcs=false was added to the compile step. This affects my build because I was displaying git info in my application as a form of version information. I don't see a way to disable this, so it would be great if there was a build flag that could re-enable VCS information.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by tracing Wails' build command and the compile step introduced in v2.9.3, focusing on how build flags are defined and passed through. Add a way to re-enable VCS information during compilation, then verify that a build using the new flag includes the expected version data.
